When the Havdalah cup exempts the wine during the meal, must an after-blessing be recited over the Havdalah cup?

ShabbatHavdalah

Synopsis

When Havdalah exempts the wine during the meal, the after-blessing for the Havdalah cup is also waived. An edge case exists where the drinker expected more wine but it did not arrive and Birkat HaMazon was said without a cup — in that case a minority holds an after-blessing is required on the Havdalah cup.
